    A, 90 read newspaper B, 80 read newspaper C, 50 read both A and B, 40 read both B and C, 30 read both A and C, 20 read all three newspapers. How many students read exactly one newspaper?
    A 110 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B 152 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C 100 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D 225 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    ATQ, Let A, B, C be the sets. Exactly two-set counts: A∩B only = 50 − 20 = 30 B∩C only = 40 − 20 = 20 A∩C only = 30 − 20 = 10 Only A = 120 − (30 + 10 + 20) = 120 − 60 = 60 Only B = 90 − (30 + 20 + 20) = 90 − 70 = 20 Only C = 80 − (10 + 20 + 20) = 80 − 50 = 30 Students with exactly one newspaper = 60 + 20 + 30 = 110.
